Transform the experience of customers, employees, and patients with a fast, cost-effective, and frictionless channel.
QR code surveys have become a key tool to capture people’s voices right at the moment of their experience. Their ease of use drives participation, while their versatility makes them applicable across multiple industries and touchpoints—from restaurants to hospitals or events. With low cost and centralized real-time data, QR codes not only modernize your company’s image but also enable agile decision-making to improve Customer Experience (CX), Employee Experience (EX), and Patient Experience (PX).

What is a QR Code Survey?
A QR survey is a digital questionnaire that users access simply by scanning a QR code with their mobile phone. After scanning, a web form opens where they can rate their experience, leave comments, or answer questions quickly and easily.
What makes this channel unique is that it captures data at the very moment of the experience, which boosts participation rates and improves the quality of feedback.
Benefits of QR Code Surveys
1. Fast and Frictionless Access
QR codes remove barriers. Users only need their phone to access the survey in seconds—no app downloads or long web addresses required. This translates into more responses and greater representativeness.
2. Feedback at the Moment of Truth
Placing QR codes at key points of the customer journey—such as a restaurant table, purchase receipt, hospital waiting room, or office exit—allows you to capture fresh and honest opinions while the experience is still top of mind.
3. Flexibility and Omnichannel
Reach QR surveys can be integrated into both physical media (posters, flyers, receipts, packaging) and digital media (emails, screens, online menus). They are compatible with any type of survey, such as:
- NPS (Net Promoter Score)
- General satisfaction surveys
- Service-specific evaluations
4. Modern and Digital Image
Today, scanning a QR code is an everyday habit. Using QR code surveys conveys an innovative, customer-centric image aligned with new consumer behaviors.
5. Real-Time Data for Agile Decisions
Responses collected via QR surveys are instantly centralized in analytics platforms like RateNow, enabling you to:
- Monitor key satisfaction indicators in real time.
- Detect improvement areas quickly.
- Make data-driven decisions to optimize the experience.
6. Low Implementation Cost
Unlike other feedback collection methods, QR surveys are highly affordable while delivering a high return in terms of participation and actionable insights.
Use Cases for QR Code Surveys
QR surveys can be applied in virtually any sector. Examples include:
- Retail stores: measure service quality at checkout or fitting rooms.
- Restaurants and cafés: gauge satisfaction after a meal.
- Hospitals and clinics: evaluate the quality of care received.
- Airports and public transport: measure passenger experience.
- Events and trade shows: gather impressions after activities.
- Hotels: assess service quality during a stay.
QR code surveys are fast, practical, and effective. They act as a bridge between physical experiences and the digital world, enabling you to listen to customers, employees, and patients at the right moment.
In an increasingly competitive environment, implementing QR code surveys can be the difference between delivering an adequate service and offering a truly memorable experience.
